Fulham have confirmed that defender Moritz Volz has left the club at the end of his contract. The 26-year-old German, who had a spell with Arsenal and Wimbledon beforemoving to Craven Cottage in 2004, made 146 appearances for Fulham.

As the manager Roy Hodgson continues his preparations for next season, which will also include a Europa League campaign, the Dutch striker Collins John has also left after failing to break into the first team on a regular basis.

Elsewhere, Danish midfielder Leon Andreasen, who joined Fulham during the 2008 January transfer window, has joined Hannover 96 on a permanent deal following a loan spell.
